Kieran Moore – If Pepe had been more than just a twinkle in his papa’s eye back in 1988 he’d have said it was a special year “Because… Love”. And he’d be absolutely right. The Henson universe is full of incredible loves – Kermit and Piggy; Wembley and Lou Fraggle; Baby Fozzie and Great Jokes, but…
Jarrod Fairclough – Happy 2017 everybody! A new year means a slew of New Years Resolutions that no-one intends on keeping. Personally, I want to lose another 10 pounds, but I really like eating cake. I have no doubt however that Elmo and Cookie Monster will in fact keep their New Years Resolutions that they announce…
Jarrod Fairclough – Cookie Monster seems to be in the Christmas spirit these days, after he sang new versions of old Christmas Carols last week. Today he’s back with reading the Christmas classic ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’, while trying to practice restraint with the cookies left out for Santa. Will he complete the story before…
Jarrod Fairclough – It’s a very Cookie Christmas! Celebrate by singing these new Christmas carols, written and performed by everyone’s favorite desert loving monster (and our good friend) COOKIE MONSTER!
Jarrod Fairclough – Fun fact, I wrote that title before I saw that ToughPigs had made the same pun. Whatever. They aren’t the boss of me. Apple users will know that ios10 was recently made available, and one of the newest features is the ability to add stickers in to iMessage! So far people like Nintendo…
Jarrod Fairclough – Just a few weeks back I wrote that it was a fact of life that everyone gets sick. Then I got a really bad dose of the flu, because apparently irony is funny to the medical gods. So it’s been an entire week since The Muppet Mindset has posted anything! And in that…

This date is widely regarded as the birthday of Kermit the Frog, who was one of the stars of the small show, and several people online were surprised that Kermit…
Jarrod Fairclough – If I said ‘Ernie and’, 100% of those surveyed would say ‘Bert’. Of course they would, Ernie and Bert are one of the most successful duos in the history of television. But over the years, Ernie has been paired with a number of characters on the series, playing both the straight man and…
A few weeks ago we got a great little video of Cookie Monster and Siri baking cookies. Now Apple have released the hilarious ‘Making Of/Bloopers’ from the video. David Rudman has such a great time improvising with the character, and it’s a lot of fun. Interestingly, it seems like the original video was much longer,…
Jarrod Fairclough – Last week I fulfilled a dream I’ve had for 25 years. After hearing that Cookie Monster was coming to Melbourne, I bombarded so many people with emails trying to secure an interview. Well, my determination paid off! Watch below as Cookie and I discuss quokkas and the moon, plus Cookie Monster does an…
